Wondering if anyone knows if they carry either or both of these items at Costco. Or anywhere else for that matter.
If so, do they only carry them around American Thanksgiving or all year 'round? Plz say all year ....

thanks

Pumpkin pie can be found there all year round. I haven't seen CoolWhip there but it can be bought in the BM shops in Itaewon. Costco stocks huge frozen turkeys around Thanksgiving as well.

i have seen both pumpkin pie and whipped cream at costco. i think whipped cream is a all year item since they use it for their lattes that they sell. i started seeing the pumpkin pie starting in october, so i'm pretty sure its not an all year item.

Yep. Cranberry sauce can be found at Hannam market.

I was in Daejon Costco tpday (Sat 11/15) and there was no pumpkin pie. I was there in the early evening so maybe they had just sold out. And, d@mn are those turkeys expensive at W7900/kg. The average bird was W61,000.

Does canned pumpkin have any sugar added? Pumpkin actually has a lot of health benefits and I'm thinking of buying a few cans for straight consumption. Unless it has added sugar.

No, it doesn't. It's straight cooked pumpkin, but if you get them, please tell me where you got them.

I've been going to Costco in Yangjae and now Sangpong ever since I got here a few years ago. Both seem to always have pumpkin pie at any time of the year. Koreans love pumpkin and sweet potatoes, so it makes sense. I wish that I had an oven big enough to cook one of those turkeys in Sad .

I do! You can bring it on over, but it'll take you about 7 hours from point A in Seoul to point Z in rural Korea unless going by car. Grab some of them cans of pumpkin and evaporated milk while you're at it. Oh and bring some cans of French's onions, cream of mushroom soup, green beans, Bruce's yams and a bag of marshmallows. I've got the butter, sugar, and cinnamon part.

I've been teaching a little about turkeys and Thanksgiving and the Koreans keep saying it's a chicken! They're impressed by the food spread in pictures of Thanksgiving dinner. I say, no, this is 10 kilograms of tastier big bird baked in the oven! I'd love to cook it up and share some with my co-teachers, but can't find the stuff to do it with. I think Koreans would love the pumpkin and pecan pies. It baffles me why there is no pie in Korea when you got all this craptacular cake, candy, and ice cream. They've never seen things like pie, oatmeal cookies, banana nut bread, turkeys, green beans, and American footballs. Some Koreans won't eat it for fear it's not as pure as Korean food and might taint you in making you less than 100% Korean while others are open minded to try it with already knowing most of what they already eat and wear is not Korean. Serious.

Laughing At my old Hakwon we always had a Thanksgiving day for the kids. It was set up as food from around the world. We had the typical American turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, green beans, cranberry sauce thing. The kids definitely stayed away from that for the most part. They obviously flocked to the food that they were accustomed to. What a pity. I encouraged them to try something new, but they have been programmed already.
